Joint Pain/Knee Pain

Many types of joint conditions, such as osteoarthritis, can cause chronic joint pain. If you have painful knee osteoarthritis, we can help. At Summit Medical Care Center, we work hard to figure out the root causes of yourpain instead of treating the isolated symptoms. Our pain management clinic in Broomfield, CO offers a variety of non-surgical treatments to relieve knee and joint pain and other symptoms related to osteoarthritis. Our goal is to promote your healing process and restore your quality of life.

Osteoarthritis & Knee Pain

Arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other degenerative joint diseases cause gradual cartilage loss that leaves your joints immobile and inflamed. Rheumatoid arthritis damages your tendons and ligaments, which connect and protect the bones within your joints. As damaged cells deteriorate, these conditions prevent your joints from reproducing new cells at the same rate.

Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, develops when the cartilage -- the smooth covering that protects the bones in the joint -- breaks down, causing pain and stiffness.

However, many prescription arthritis medications focus on pain relief rather than physical improvement, and they come with a variety of harsh side effects and high expenses.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Knee Osteoarthritis

We treat painful knee osteoarthritis and other joint conditions with Supartz Knee Injections, also known as "Hyaluronic Acid Injections," which act to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief over an extended period of time.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that lubricates your joints. Patients with osteoarthritis have low levels of hyaluronic acid, which brings on the symptoms caused by osteoarthritis, like pain, swelling, stiffness and disability. Injections of hyaluronic acid are administered directly into the affected joint, a therapy also known as viscosupplementation, adds the necessary lubrication to restore mobility of the joint and ease the most common symptoms brought on by osteoarthritis.

Joint surgery has been the standard solution for those suffering from osteoarthritis for many years. Instead of going through the serious complications that come with surgery, many patients are now turning to stem cell therapy before moving forward with knee replacement surgery.

We are one of the few clinics in the Broomfield, CO area to offer stem cell injections to help patients recover from joint and knee problems that might otherwise require major surgery. It's one of our many natural methods for relieving pain and restoring mobility.
